Glastron
Glastron
Glastron boats are featured in several James Bond films.
In Live and Let Die (1974) Bond steals a Glastron GT-150 from Dr. Kananga's "crocodile farm" drug factory and engages in a high speed chase. After the GT-150 is disabled by gunfire, Bond changes into a Glastron CV-19 Jet speedboat
French industrial designer Bertrand Le Bris used his skills to create an incredibly detailed scale model of the black and yellow "Billy Bob" Glastron-Carlson CV21 jet speedboat. And it even works!
Glastron CV23HT
James Bond (Roger Moore) uses a Glastron Carlson CV23HT speedboat in the movie Moonraker (1979). HT stands for Hard Top. Only 300 of these hard top boats were built in 1978 and 1979, and only 3 of those were built with the custom painted silver metalflake gelcoat over gray (the 'normal' boats sold to the public had either metalflake blue or metalflake bronze color).
Glastron GT-150
In the movie Live and Let Die (1974), James Bond uses a Glastron GT150 speedboat in a thrilling chase through the Louisiana marches. The boat made a record braking 120ft jump.
The Live and Let Die GT150 used for the famous jump was built in 1972 and had an Evinrude Starflite 135hp engine.
Antique Boat America and the Antique Boat Museum are proud to announce that a fully restored 1978 Glastron Carlson 23 foot will be offered for sale at the 47th Clayton Annual Boat Show and Auction on Saturday August 6th, 2011.
